Hobby terms that annoy you

[Exhibitman]

A whine I heard a lot before this run-up in card prices:

"But I'm into it for more."

That's a 'you' problem, not a 'me' problem.

I saw the term "Hyper-Rare" used for a few listings yesterday.

I guess I found it more amusing then annoying though.

Was tempted to contact the seller and ask: "I'm really interested in your item, but am concerned about it's behavioral problems. What do you think would be the best way to calm it down?"

This had me literally laughing out loud. Thank you Sir.

FLASH SALE!

When a seller posts a card for 20 times what anyone would pay for it, then discounts it 85%. Still a rip-off.

Don’t forget the quick sale! Then they will put “ take it for $xx” . Like they are doing me a favor and letting me “take” it for this price.

Adam,

Thanks for a much-needed laugh. Do you mind if I borrow that quip every time somebody tries to get a discount, saying, "I have to get this item authenticated"? How does that mean that YOU expect me to deduct that money from the sale?!

By all means, use it.

One that I hear all the time in my practice (in regard to real estate transactions) that makes my teeth grind: flexibility. As in "does the seller have any flexibility?" Argh!
